Lu Xici said sincerely, "Captain Duan, we really don't need these things... You saved my family, and then came to help us late at night. Consider it making friends!"

Sang Xu, Sang Che, and Sang Yan nodded in unison...

Sang Xu said firmly, "Captain Duan, please accept it."

Seeing the sincere looks in everyone's eyes, Duan Yi finally stopped refusing: "Alright, then I'll shamelessly accept it."

He shook his head with a sigh: "No wonder everyone in the bases says, 'Any ability user who doesn't want to go to Flameheart isn't a good ability user.' Flameheart really is rich and powerful!"

This remark made everyone laugh...

Taking the opportunity, Li Gen interjected, "Captain Duan, could we visit Flameheart more often in the future?"

"You talk too much!" Duan Yi said with a laugh, but he couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes.

On the watchtower at the gate of Flameheart Base...

Lu Nange, along with Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan, and others, were clearing away the zombies attracted by the battle and the convoy.

Although these low-level zombies posed little threat, their numbers were considerable, and they lingered around the outer perimeter of the Flameheart Base's shield.

Lu Nange manipulated the tornadoes to harvest hordes of zombies...

With a wave of his hand, Lu Beiye sent golden threads piercing the heads of seven or eight zombies. Despite not having slept all night, the little guy was still full of energy.

Luo Xingyou, wielding the golden blade, was equally formidable; with a single swing, several zombies fell to the ground...

Gu Wan's fireballs lit up one after another in the distance, clearing away the horde of corpses.

Gangzi hovered in the air, occasionally swooping down, its sharp claws easily tearing apart any fish that slipped through the net.

However, its primary task is to manipulate ice-based abilities to extinguish any potential accidents caused by Gu Wan's fireballs...

Zhizhi busily manipulated the vines as they darted through the trees, the tiny vines extracting crystal cores one by one.

The group worked in perfect harmony, clearing the area around the watchtower and the steps on the wall.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the low-level zombies were finally wiped out.

Zhizhi and Gangzi had neatly piled the zombie corpses in several open spaces, like small hills.

Sunlight bathed the earth, casting a golden glow on the Flameheart Base, which had been battered all night...

The superhumans from various bases who came to provide support all stood up to say goodbye, and the area outside the Flameheart gate suddenly became lively.

"Miss Lu, please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future!" Wang Xi from the Sharp Blade Base said with a fist and palm salute, his handsome face showing sincerity.

"Sister Xi, we Yanxin will remember your kindness..." Lu Nange replied solemnly.

Pepper skipped over, "Idol, why don't I just stay?"

Lu Nange: "I have no objection, but are you willing to leave?"

Jin Xiao approached with his Starry Sky men: "Miss Lu, since you've accepted Pepper, why not also incorporate Starry Sky into your organization?"

Gu Wan immediately interjected, "Of course..."

He made a big X with his arms: "No way!"

Jin Xiao: "Another day of rejection!"

Lin Shuang stepped forward: "Then we'll be leaving now, Miss Lu!"

Lu Nange nodded in greeting...

Chi Yanzhou turned to Si Sheng: "Thank you!"

Si Sheng was somewhat flattered: "It's...it's...yes, Brother Yan, no need, no need to thank me!"

Gu Wan looked at Si Sheng: "As a base commander, can you please stop being so hesitant and awkward when you talk to us?"

Although we don't need your help, thank you anyway. Let's just forget about you trying to kill me when we were kids!
